Thursday YO Packets have Gone Green!!
We are excited to announce that the Thursday YO Packets are now back online
and being distributed electronically via email!
They can also be viewed online on the NewsLetters page.
Note: Many people reported that they did not receive
their Electronic YO Packet, but later found the email in their SPAM or Junk
Email folders. Subscribers to AOL.com, gmail.com, tx.rr.com, and
sbcglobal.net seemed to have the most problems. You might also have to add
website@hightowerpta.org to your email address
book or to your safe sender list.
If you would like to receive the
Thursday YO Packet electronically each week, please send an email request to
website@HightowerPTA.org.

PISD eNEWS
Get
weekly electronic updates on Hightower Happenings. eNews is a free e-mail newsletter service from
our
district and schools. Parents are encouraged to sign
up to receive e-newsletters from the district and also individual
schools (select "Hightower" for the K-5 school).
VOLUNTEERS
In order to volunteer in PISD, new and returning volunteers must complete an online application
each year (valid July 1 to June 30).
Log on to www.pisd.edu,
then click on "Volunteer Application" near the bottom of the
page, or go directly to the application. Follow the prompts
to complete. At the end of the application process, a Volunteer
Agreement form will print out. You must have this form notarized.
School office personnel can notarize the form. Keep in
mind that approval generally takes one to two weeks to process.
Volunteers who completed this form for the previous school year
created a User ID and Password. If you do not remember these,
simply click on the appropriate spot on the first screen of the
application to get this information.
If you
have any questions about the process, please contact Debbie Price at volunteers@HightowerPTA.org.
SCHOOL STORE
Check
out the online ordering capability! A variety of school related items (notepads, pencils, water bottles,
etc.) are offered for purchase.
RECYCLING
Save those old cell phones, eyeglasses, and toner
and ink cartridges.
Hightower will hold a recycling drive during the school year.
It's as easy as dropping them off at the curb with your child in the
morning. Something so simple can make such a huge difference!
For information contact Donna Zeephat at
environmental@HightowerPTA.org.
